Camino web browser updated to 1.6.8

The Camino developers have announced the release of version 1.6.8, a maintenance release that includes several security and stability updates. Camino is a Mac OS X open source browser that's based on Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine and the update upgrades to Gecko version 1.8.1.22, closing several critical security and stability issues.

The release also includes improved ad-blocking and fixes for invalid cookies, which previously prevented displaying the list of stored cookies. Typing to choose an item has also been fixed to function properly in <select> controls with <optgroup> elements. A problem that prevented the Downloads window from closing when the Customise Tool bar sheet was visible has also been addressed.

More details about the release can be found in the release notes. Camino 1.6.8 is available to download (direct download) for PowerPC and Intel-based Mac's running Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
